Title: Quest Archive Manager
1Quest Archive Manager
2Business Challenges
- Responding to legal or regulatory oversight can
be time consuming and often includes penalties
for late responses - Storage management is out of control and e-mail
volumes continue to rise dramatically - End users are storing important corporate
knowledge in unmanaged, and often unreliable,
PSTs - Retention policies are not being followed,
putting organizations at risk - End users constantly complain about the need to
retain more historical data and about mailbox
size limits - Considerable business information is contained
within e-mail, yet organizations do not have easy
access to it
3Technical Challenges
- E-mail messages need to be archived for
regulatory compliance - Searching through all of the messaging data on
our network is almost impossible - End users mailboxes are always hitting size
limits - End users constantly complain that they need to
keep more email than our current servers can
handle - Exchange Server backups and restores take too
long - Retention policies are not being followed
- PSTs are distributed all over the network, and
they arent being backed up nor are they under
ITs control
4What if
- You could easily capture all email traffic sent
to, from, and within your network infrastructure? - It was easy to find the data you need with a
simple search? - Your end users mailboxes were automatically kept
within the designated size limits, and older data
was still readily available when needed? - You could keep your Exchange Server information
stores small enough to ensure a short backup and
restore window? - The data stored in PSTs was centralized, while
retaining end-users access to their mail? - You could easily search across all e-mail data,
or flexibly share this data with staff members?
5Quest has helped
- Mainfreight is one of New Zealands leading
supply chain providers, offering transport,
warehousing and distribution services - E-mail was consuming too much storage, with PST
files duplicating data across the network. In the
case of an emergency, restoring data would take
too long - Archive Manager was implemented to reduce the
amount of storage and to consolidate PST files - Email storage requirements were reduced from
175Gb to less than 50Gb daily backup times
reduced from 2.5 hours to 0.5 hours
6Key Capabilities and Business Value
- Stores messaging data in a secure archive
- Enables flexible searching of archived data
- Consolidates messaging data from numerous sources
- Reduces risk associated with data in PST files by
bringing the data back under corporate control - Improves operational efficiency of Exchange
Servers by keeping mailboxes at optimal sizes - Provides a long term historical view of business
processes and actions - Enables flexible information sharing and
collaboration
7Key Differentiators
- Ability to backfill the archive with historical
data from current mailboxes, backup media, and
PST files - Granular permissions to archived data
- Fingerprinting each message and attachment
ensures true single instance storage and data
integrity - Save searches as RSS feeds for easy updates on
newly archived information - Fully integrated with Microsoft Outlook and
Outlook Web Access no separate client
installation required - Attachment-centric searching search for just
attachments, or for messages with attachments - Custom mailboxes and folders to facilitate
sharing of information
